does the fuel pump prime? Do you have fuel pressure?
Do you have spark?

Well I justed checked It out today and I am not getting no spark from the plugs.(new plugs) When I pull the spark plug out I see that the they are getting fuel. I guess I am going to to replace the wires and go from there. the dizzy is new so I'm guessing that is not it. Does the dizzy have a fuse? Is there anything else that will cause no spark?Thanks for the help!

Well I checked all of the fuses, all are okay. There is a check engine light on but I think it is from the o2 sensor. Is there anything special I have to do when installing the dizzy? I just bolted it on. Thanks for the help!

Retrieve the CEL. Honestly why do people always overlook this.
Use a multimeter to check that the black/yellow wire has power when the key is on. Then check the coil and ignitor's resistance.

check engine light CEL it may of said o2 sensor a bit back but you may have gotten another code to show up read the codes and report back with the numbers etc and we can see if something may be wrong elsewhere...

well, okay I got it running now. I have another question.... is it normal to have a little bit of water and oil coming out from the exhaust? Thanks for the help!

water maybe depends on temp and humidity but oil is a big NO . there shouldnt be oil coming out
